Product Features
The assay has a good correlation with the reference method and is linear up to 200 µmole/L. The intra %CV is 2.5% and the inter %CV is 4.5%. The reagent is stable for 24 months from date of manufacture when stored @ 2°-8° C. Reconstituted reagent is stable for 1 week at 2°-8° C.
Assay Principle
In the presence of NAD, the enzyme 3-α hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3-α HSD) converts bile acids to 3-keto steroids and NADH. The NADH formed reacts with nitrotetrazolium blue (NBT) to form a formazan dye in the presence of diaphorase enzyme. The dye formation is monitored by measuring absorbance at 540 nm and is directly proportional to the bile acids concentration in the serum sample.
Intended use
The assay kit is for determination of serum total bile acids (TBA). For research use only in U.S.A.
